The game was entertaining, but if you're a fan of the Raiders and happen to have, say, Henry Ruggs on your fantasy team and Bryan Edwards previously, Waller being targeted 19 ####### times will drive you nuts.
19! That's a Paul Hardcastle song, not a reasonable target share.
Nineteen! N-n-n-n-n-nineteen!
Some of the logistically boneheaded stuff they do is just maddening as a football fan. They're undisciplined and strangely coached. That sequence at the end where they're out of timeouts but he sends the kicking unit on to give up five yards on a delay?
####ty coaching by anybody, but Gruden gets a pass. It's a bit maddening. That's why all of us sound like haters are in here. In general, stupid football costs games, and we know how damn hard the players work to not have games being cost by boneheaded #### by guys that should know better. I used to love the Raiders and their sort of maverick ways. That wore out in the nineties with me. The aughts were a return to a disciplined, tough team, culminating in Super Bowl runs.
What's out there now doesn't approach that, really. It's a weird mix of potency and idiocracy. It's just dangerous enough to be good but not ascendant.
Who knows? Maybe I'm just a fuddydud.
Nice win tonight. Hard fought.
